AutoCAD 2007 features a new 3D rendering engine that greatly enhances the
program's 3D functionality-and makes this industry-standard drafting program
even more difficult to master, even for veteran users. This focused For Dummies
workbook gives people the practice they need to get up to speed on the new 3D
features, with dozens of problems and step-by-step solutions for modeling,
shadowing, and lighting. Topics covered by the problems include 2D geometric
construction, 3D solid modeling, 3D surface modeling, rendering and imaging,
dimensioning and drafting, and model interchange. Used by architects, engineers,
and draftspeople, AutoCAD is the #1 computer-aided design (CAD) software in the
world, with an installed base of 6.7 million users. The accompanying DVD
provides videos that illustrate select problems and solutions presented in the
workbook.
